The rep on this side's a Blue Dog, so he might catch some hell…but I don't think he'll catch that much right now. He's been, for the most part, left alone (though there's a gang of people lining up to challenge him in '10).

….but you know some of these town hall folks are doing hard tea party redux all over…..the hardened, stone faces that we see let's you know they are virtually about to bust an artery….and it just hurts the “cause” when you have uninformed town hall goers railing about keep your hands off Medicare…..um, wth do they think Medicare is?

And actually, when the Walter Reed story broke, Free Republic and a lot of other pro-military groups in DC were all over the Armed Services committees about it. That may have been the only issue they partly agreed with some of the antiwar groups on.

I ain't bailing you out, so you better behave…LOL.

Seriously, though…there's no good reason for any representative to make himself available, in some way, to his constituents. If your feelings get hurt because someone disagrees with you, you're in the wrong line of work.

Life sized posters with nooses hanging aroung them, and maybe getting physically accosted., intimidation and a whole slew of ignorant ass folks who do not already know that Medicare and Medicaid is government-run.

You already know you stood on stage with some major Obama haters back in April at those teabag fests…yea, I ain't forgot about the redneck dude who was on the stage with you…what was the website again? The premise of these town hall uprisings is the same as the tea bag fests….and we all know what is TRULY at the root……just like Bush's expanison of government and ballooning deficits, no one said a damn thing when Medicare was expanded….

and it always puzzles me that NO good ol Republican, patriotic Americans were pissed and screaming when troops came back to Wlater Reed in mold-filled and disgusting moves….wouldn't TRUE patriotism have enraged the Republican masses and had them shouted to the top of their lungs over the treatment of American troops?

I tell ya what….if it happens in my neck of the woods, and with the chip I got on my shoulders, I WISH some crazies would roll up…I'll leave it at that.

BTW, most of these town hall mob loonies give me flashbacks to the KKK rallies, er, I mean McCain/Palin rallies last fall. The visuals, sadly, are always the same.

I call over to Rep. Scott's office every day to see when they're scheduling a townhall. Nothing except a small business symposium in Richmond and Hampton Roads.

What are they scared of? The opposition plays nice….

Actually Maxine Waters is trying but aside from the usual Republican wall of opposition we have the “Blue Dog” Democrats-In-Name-Only actively trying to kill this plan.
